WAAAYTOOO 11,546 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 It looks like there is a new format for searching cruises. This is how the search return came in for my 3 night NAV 6 Nov cruise. DublinFC, SteveinSC, Neesa and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WAAAYTOOO 11,546 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 What I have is a huge update and I hate it ! Once I am in a potential reservation scenario, I have no way to get out of it. You used to be able to click on "Change dates" and it would take you back to the master list. Now, there is no way (that I have found, yet) to get out of the cruise you are in. Total PITA Ogilthorpe and USCG Teacher 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ogilthorpe 942 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 It appears that everything past the section of sailing date is updated. Some updated room descriptions as well more virtual tours. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It appears the new path back there is to select "view itinerary details". Once you have advanced past Room Type, you either need to back page or select the logo where options will take you all the way back. I kinda miss the old way also.

The only improvement that I can see so far is that you can now review the itinerary once you are in the <mock> booking. Before you could never see the itinerary once you started looking at cabins. I also noticed that (so far) all of the previous military discounts are now gone. Glad I had all of mine repriced while they were still applicable. Prices on my 3 and 4 night NAV cruises were up around 10% plus no military discounts anymore. Ogilthorpe and SpeedNoodles 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WannaCruise 913 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 56 minutes ago, WAAAYTOOO said: Oh....and prices are UP ! Yes...noticed a big jump as of Wed for a few of my cruises (Wed seems to be the standard new "sale" day). I like the new website. Shows info differently (plus a few virtual room tours). They got rid of one small annoyance where it defaulted the C&A number from the main applicant for all applicants, but then errorred out when trying to get final price. Why default if it will be an error and everyone has a unique number anyways. This is fixed, which saves a few 'delete' keys. But true...to get out of a screen, you need to use the back arrows instead of the old 'change itinerary' link that was at the top.

cruisinnewbie 63 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Beware also: My phone is giving me different prices than my desktop! I've just priced my cruise three times in the last five minutes and gotten 3 different prices. I called RC and they confirmed the middle one, which is the same as the price it was yesterday. When I called the rep got locked out of the system momentarily, so I'm guessing there's something glitchy going on. Ogilthorpe and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WAAAYTOOO 11,546 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've used both Chrome and Explorer/Edge and it's on both. You have to go past the first few steps of a "find a cruise" to get to the new format. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could be, I was using Chrome on my desktop. In desktop Edge, it is the old style site, in Desktop IE it is new and has the change date in the itinerary window. On my phone (Android Chrome) it is the new style and the change date is in the itinerary window there also. I'm realizing this is way more interesting than what I was working on ....
